My tryst with MLB was accidental, but what followed was nothing short of a pursuit of excellence. Having penned over 1,000 articles, I've written about the key figures ES regularly features, including Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Barry Bonds, and Mike Trout, but Shohei Ohtani is a personal favorite. From New York to Los Angeles, I've covered articles spanning all 50 states that have been recognized as Editor's Picks on multiple occasions. With an exceptional attention to detail and insightful coverage, I'm now an MLB editor. Other than baseball, I also occasionally pick up a bow and arrow and engage in friendly archery games. When not covering news of the diamond or hitting the bull's eye with my arrows, I love to indulge in my love for literature. I agree with what Jane Austen said, “The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.” I also enjoy reading about morally gray characters and talking about them on my bookstagram!

After getting closer than ever to his Australian Open [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/tennis/australian-open/] dream, Taylor Fritz [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/taylor-fritz/] had a heartbreaking end. He gave his all in the quarterfinals against Novak Djokovic [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/novak-djokovic/] but couldn’t overcome his challenge. As a result, he bowed out in four sets 6-7 (3), 6-4, 2-6, 3-6. Nonetheless, it was his best performance at the Grand Slam Down Under. Following his disappointment, Fritz’s girlfriend, Morgan Riddle, made a major revelation about him. During his Australian Open campaign, Fritz was strongly backed by Riddle, who cheered from the American star’s box. However, with his exit in the last eight, Fritz returned home for a brief period ahead of a hectic season. Here’s what he did after returning home. INSIDE THE BRIEF HOME RETURN OF TAYLOR FRITZ Taylor Fritz’s girlfriend, Morgan Riddle, celebrated as a tennis influencer, took to her official YouTube channel to open up about what her boyfriend did after coming back home from Australia. She said, “He came home for 48 hours, entered his cave, the game room, and then left immediately to go back to Europe but happy to be home obviously the last couple weeks were a lot.” Fritz was initially supposed to play USA’s Davis Cup qualifier against Ukraine. The tie is held in Lithuania, with the American team being the favorites to win. Fritz pulled out of the tie due to an injury and was replaced by Chris Eubanks. He’ll next be seen in action at the Delray Beach Open which takes place in a couple of weeks. While Fritz has had a busy schedule, his girlfriend has also had a jam-packed routine, alongside traveling with her boyfriend to tournaments. She once revealed her ordeal in a tired-looking post on social media. Watch This Story: Serena Williams pays tribute to Roger Federer. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/stories/atp-wta-tennis-news-what-a-class-act-serena-williams-sends-love-as-roger-federer-hangs-his-tennis-racket/] WHEN MORGAN RIDDLE GOT CANDID ABOUT HER JAM-PACKED SCHEDULE Labeled ‘The Most Famous Woman in Men’s Tennis’ by The New York Times, Morgan Riddle is no less busy than her boyfriend. Ahead of the Asian leg of the ATP tour last year, Riddle had a hectic schedule, both in her professional as well as personal life. In an Instagram story on her official handle, she narrated her energy-sapping tale. DIVE DEEPER: Taylor Fritz’s Woeful ‘Losing Streak’ Forces Him to Give Up as His Girlfriend Captures Him Curled Up in Bed [https://www.essentiallysports.com/atp-tennis-news-taylor-fritzs-woeful-losing-streak-forces-him-to-give-up-as-his-girlfriend-captures-him-curled-up-in-bed/] Riddle revealed [https://www.essentiallysports.com/atp-tennis-news-overlooked-tennis-problem-has-its-effect-on-american-tennis-star-taylor-fritzs-girlfriend-as-she-reveals-painful-reality/], “I had a shoot all day today and now I have to unpack, do laundry, and pack again because we leave for China in 36 hours.” Despite this, she continues to do tennis tours with her boyfriend. It shows how the two share a close bond and are always there for each other. Indeed, the two are a power couple in the sporting world! 

In a video on her official YouTube channel, the girlfriend of Taylor Fritz, Morgan Riddle, discusses her boyfriend's return home.

Being a die-hard fan of tennis and an ardent follower of Rafael Nadal, tennis
has been a part of my life even before I ventured into sports journalism. If I
have learned anything from the incredible career of the ?King of Clay?, it is to
constantly enhance your skill sets, no matter at what stage you are in your
career. This motivated me to complete an Executive Post Graduate Diploma in
Sports Management while pursuing my career as a sports writer. At ES, I have
written over 1600 articles, covering a wide range of topics: From on-court
controversies to the personal exploits of the biggest tennis stars. Moreover, I
particularly enjoy covering Grand Slams, where the best of the best battle it
out for the biggest honors in tennis. Beyond covering tennis for ES, I am
interested in reading about current affairs and traveling to exotic locations
around the world.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Taylor Fritz: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, wife and more</h2>
Ever since Taylor Fritz dreamt of becoming a professional tennis player, he had this great American legacy to carry forward made by his peers, John McEnroe, Pete Sampras, Andre Agassi, and other greats. Fritz has yet to find a way to win a grand slam in his eight-year-long tennis career but has already shown enough sparks to attract a lot of brands, endorsement deals, and partnerships. As of March 2024, Taylor Fritz's net worth was $3 million. He has recorded on-court earnings of over $14 million and is regarded as the torchbearer of American tennis for the next 5–10 years.

Taylor Fritz has a commercial partnership with Nike, which is his on-court kit sponsor and covers his headgear, shirts, shorts, and shoes. Austrian sports equipment company Head provides him with racquets, and the American has had a partnership with Swiss luxury watchmaker Rolex since September 2019. He has also partnered with Optimum Nutrition, Lavazza Coffee, Waterdrop, and Maestro Dobel Tequila. Taylor Fritz is also an investor and has invested in an esports team called ReKTGlobal. He is also the owner of a beautiful house in San Diego, California, but resides in a luxurious house in Rancho Palos Verdes.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Who is Taylor Fritz?  </h2>
Taylor Fritz is touted as the next big thing in American tennis, though he is far from living up to the expectations and, more importantly, living up to his potential. Born on October 28, 1997, Taylor Fritz hails from Rancho Santa Fe, California, in the US, and turned into a professional tennis player in 2015. He is currently ranked 12th in the men’s ATP rankings but has been ranked as high as world number 5 in February 2023. He has won seven ATP singles titles, including the 2022 Indian Wells Masters. Since June 2020, Fritz has been in a relationship with Morgan Riddle, a fashion influencer.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Taylor Fritz’s early life </h2>
Taylor Fritz is the son of former tennis players Kathy May and Guy Henry Fritz. While Kathy reached as high as number 10 in the world in 1977, Guy was named the professional development coach of the year in 2016. Taylor is also the great-great-grandson of David May, a renowned American businessman and founder of the May stores. 

Fritz followed in the footsteps of his parents and started showing a keen interest in the sport at the age of 2. While growing up, Taylor idolized Pete Sampras and Juan Martin Del Potro. His game is a combo of Pete and Potro, as he has a strong serve from the baseline and a good net game as well.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Taylor Fritz’s wife and children</h2>

Both Fritz and Prdraza welcomed a son named Jordan in January 2017. However, two years later, the two athletes divorced in December 2019.

In January 2020, Fritz started dating Riddle, and the duo has been together since then. They also featured in the 2023 Netflix Series - Break Point Together. The couple has traveled together to Itlay for the 2022 Nitto ATP Finals, and Riddle regularly accompanies her tennis boyfriend around the world.
